I’ve been looking for ‘that book’ – you know the one – that’ll teach you how to instantly attain a Jedi-like-Buddhahood, the one that effortlessly reminds you of what you already know deep down. And I’ve looked in the Mind/Body/Spirit section of the bookshop – also the Popular Science section – for cool Urban-Warrior-style book about Quantum Physics.
And I’ve even tried searches on the internet – for phrases like ‘Buddha-in-the-hood’ or ‘Jedi-Buddhahood’- but nothing apart from a Star Wars role-playing book for $179!! which (by-the-way) I saw about three years ago in another bookshop for about £40! – (so much for my prude investment intuition) anyways – I don’t want to play-act being a Jedi – or read a load of Buddhist or Tao airy fairy stuff half mixed with loads of Indian ‘Words’ and lingo just to feel ‘spiritual’.
I just want a plain talking – selfless – down-to-earth guide, I want to actually Be – to feel and experience that inner-peace altered state of Higher Consciousness
And then it came to me – Flash! – Smack! – Boom!!!! – like an old ‘friend’ – who I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to bump into again – and it asked me:
‘Why are you looking outside of yourself – for the answers and solutions that lye within yourself?
Write your own bloody book!’ it said –
‘Discover the inner-Buddha in you -
uncover the Jedi Knight – hiding in your dressing gown.
Behold the Uber Mench – Behold the Urban Guru!’
